Pausing a moment from the rigors of Band practice, members stop to welcome each other to another year of fabulous and talented performances. Ma rch iuf Ban d . . . The first week of school preceding the first perform- ance was a busy one for every Band member. Eight hours of grueling competitive practice occupied each member ' s day. During these practice sessions, every man who as- pired to a regular Saturday afternoon position with the Band proved his worth by marching at the pace of 180 archy high steps per minute. He was expected to commit to memory his part in each of the intricate formations and the musical accompaniments as a matter of course. Rigorous as the requirements may have been, the honor of performing under the baton of Jack Evans proved a great inspiration . . . approximately 300 men turned out to compete for positions. And when the practices were done Director Evans had 120 top performers plus three alternates (just as good) for each row.
